A RiII Providing for tho Purchase
OF irish Holdings.

LONDON, March 3l.-In the House
OF Lords tonight Earl Cadogan, Con-
sentative, presented bill providing
for the purchase OF Irish holdings, or,
in other words, for the abolition OF the
system of dual ownership created by
the act of 1881, 1t was proposed, he
said, to admit lease holders to the
bene 6ts of the act of 1881, [Cheers. ]
The lease hold rs whose leases expired
prior TO 1881, numbering 100000, were
t. be admitted TO the benefits of the
act OF 1881 in the same manner as
those whose leases expired in that
year. II was Glso proposed that
landlord must Issue notice in the form
scheduled in the bill when he b aims
an ejectment writ from the court, and
that he be required to serve the ten.
ant with that notice in the manner
prescribed by the courts, either by
service or by posting, that when the
tenant receives this notice he shall
become lpse Tdcto caretsker OF his hold
ing for the period of six months, and
that the redemption shall run rs from
that date. Earl Csdogan hoped the
House would accept the measure.

inal Court where Judge Anthony was
sitting and returned three patches OF
indictments against persons impE-
Gated In the county frauds, there being
Q total OF twenty-three presentments.
Who the indictments are sgainst is
purely q matter Of speculation just
now, the capias Ia none OF the cases
having yet been issued.
At 8 O'Clock Judge Anthony left for
home, laying he would not come back
even II sent for. He arranged with
the clerk OF the court as TO the amount
OF bail in each case, and bonds will be
taken Just as they were In the case OF
Dan WTenn, by the clerk accepting
the word OF the bondsmen for the sp.
pearance tomorrow Of the indicted
parties. The grand jury have put in
just twenty-one days OF active work In
the boodlers' cases, and yet the inves-
tigation is unfinished. Nearly every
hour furnishes something in the way
OF new clew, and the frauds upon
frauds embraced in the great con-
spiIacy TO plumber Cook county seem
10 multiply as the inquiry advances
The me gnitude Of the woik and the
d ficulty encountered in mastering
the facts into a presentable narrative
may be understood when the jury en-
deavors are considered. frequently
they have remained 10 continuous ses-
sion from IL o'clock in the forenoon
until 1880 o'clock in the even
ing-eight and one-half hours
and having kept this up almost
without interruption for twenty.
one days it would seem to be about
time for fnal presentments. Inst. al
OF the last bach Of true bills being
forthcoming and the name OF every
boodler on the indicted list, there is
an imminent likelihood that the in
quiry may have to be extended and
that the session of the fpscial jury
may be prolonged ten days or two
weeks more. States Attorney GrinDell
told a reporter today that he had
reached no conclusion as TO what steps.
should be taken relative to keeping up
the present investigation, but he &C.
knowledged another week or 80 might
be probably expended in getting at
the bottom facts. Should ii be de-
clded to 20 on with the work, Mr..
Grinnell said an order to that effect
from the court would suffice, and that
the session of the present jury ,uld be
extended with ali le2al requirements.

Amount OF Money Taken Be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000.

RonE, N. Y, March STA special
to the Sentinel from Frankfort, N. Y (,
says: Express Mess Dger Leake, who
was robbed between Olsrk's Mills and
Frankfort last night, reached here
last night about midnight, and was
able to proceed TO the office OF Drs.
Skiff & Richards, where his wounds
were dressed. He YVES shot in the
upper part OF the right arm, the ball
passing around The shoulder, causing
an ugly wound. The doctors probed
for the ball, but were unable to locate
it. Leake endured the operation he.
roically without chlorofcrm. He was
weak from the shock and loss If
blood, but walked to the station and
took the 3 80 O'Clock am. train for
Albany, on his way home to Sharon
Springs. He stated to reporter that
soon after his train left Clsrk's Mills
q man entered his car through the
eide door, which he showed back, say
ing as he did so: Throw up your
hands" Leake did not reslizs for a
moment whst was up, and failed to
comply with the demand. The in
truder thereupon leveled his revolver
at the messenger and shot him.
Lsake fell to the floor OF the car, and
his assailant said: "Now, damn
you, when / tell you to hold
up your hands sg'in you'll do
it, wont your" The assassin then
proceeded to bind the hands and feet

piled: "You wouldn't rob man aud
then xii MIN, too, would your"
Lsske tried TO free himself, but did
not succeed. At Utica his car was

Discussing the Irish Coercion Hill.

LONDON, March 3l.-Tbe Right
Hon. Edward Heneage, Liberal
Unionist's Member Of the House OF
Commons for Great Grimsby, in the
Liberal Union meeting today, opposed
that part OF the Irish criminal law
amendment bill which changes the
venue in certain ella uses Il criminal
tr'as to England. Mr.. Heneags wss
supported in this oppositionIby several
others. Mr.. Edward William Wstkin,
Member for Hythe, said he thought
coercion was needed in Ireland r9-
regardless OF remedial legislation.
Joseph Chamberlain demurred to this
and contended that remedial measures
should be a. least implied in Irish
legislation. Lord Harrington ap.
pealed to the members OF the Liberal
Union party TO support the govern
ment on the second reading OF the
bill, reserving the right to demand it
in committee. This the meeting
agreed to.

EXPIRE 8 OFFICIALS RETIcENT.

UTICA, N. Y, March 31.-Local ex-
press officials decline to state the
amount Of the loss. Route Agent
Bushnell reached Utica today. He
wss reticent, but admitted the less f
about $1,000. Other statements fix the
loss at $4,000. 1t is believed that tt
robber entered the car near Oleida
Castle, where the grade is heavy. The
messengers statement that the robber
entered by the side door is not be-
lieved, as the platform door Of the car
wss not fastened by a chain, as it
should have been, when the train
reached Utica. Mr.. Bushnell left for
Albany again at 1852 O'Clock p IN. to
interview Messenger Leake. The
messenger said to some one that he
WAS sitting at his open safe when at
tackled. His description of the robber
tallies perfectly with that given by
Night Agent Barger of the masked
man who robbed his drawer OF about
SIS, March 18th, walked him down
the track and gave him back a watch
and revolver that had been TAI en-
with the money.

LoHDox, Ma CHI 3l.-Lord Harting.
ton, at q meeting tsday Of the Liberal

kament, explained that the govern
ment has made the Irish crimes sct

to power. Il was the imperative duty
of the Liberal Unionists to prevent
this Lord Harrington commended. The

Several members OF the Iarty were alb
sent from the meeting.
The meeting hall was crowded.

ent were the Earl OF Derby, Mr.. Cram

The Late Fire.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I wish to inform you
OF the facts as to the recent fire in my
bakery. The even was built from a
wooden foundation, with four.inch
plank and two layers of brick properly
mortared on the woodwork. This was
considered perfectly safe by the bakers,
also by the mason who laid the brick.
In the ordinary way of using an oven
1t, in my opinion, was safe, bnt the
hAkers after taking out their bread,
While the oven whs hot, fiited it with
wood to dry; this caught fire, heath
the oven to a much greater extent
than usual, thus causing the timber
underneath the brick to burn. think
the fire had been in progress from -
o'clock, midnight, us it would of
course take some time for it to null
through the timber before getting to
the air. Shortly after O'Clock | was
Informed that the bakery was on fire.
l was on the spot almost in an instant,
and at the same time sent for the fire
engine. l don't think more than 7
minutes elapsed before the engine was
there and playing on the fire. In fact
ii was done SO quickly that wish to
congratulate Messrs. Sleeper, Stevens
and Others of the Essex House for
their work. Never did a fire company
use better Judgment than they. The
fire was soon eXtinguished, and now |

build one with stone bottom. There
will be no timber about it: 1t will
probably be two weeks before | can
get it ready for use, the stone work
alone taking up the greater part of the
time. | would suggest that some kind
of a fire company should be formed lat
the towns expense, and drill at least
one day in each month, SO as to be
ready in case OF emergency. 1t was
fortunate that the fire was discovered
just about the time that men were
preparing to commence their DAVIS
work, and that such capable workers
were SO soon at hand to fight it other
wise the consequences might have
been more serious. There was no iii.
surance on the bakery.
